Democratic presidential nominee Joe Biden leads President Trump by nearly 6 points among active-duty troops, according to a new Military Times poll released on Monday, suggesting that the president’s support may be eroding among a group he sees as a part of his political base.

The poll, conducted in partnership with the Institute for Veterans and Military Families at Syracuse University with participants chosen from Military Times subscribers, showed Biden garnering 43 percent support among active-duty service members to Trump’s 37 percent.

By comparison, a similar poll from October 2016 showed Trump leading then-Democratic nominee Hillary Clinton by roughly 20 points among military voters.

I assume that this is more #FakeNews. If true, America and freedom are dead.

We do know gay people feel protected when they are in the military these days.

I would not be at all surprised if the military is trending anti-Trump. One of the first things Marxists get control of is the military. Once in control, the purges begin.

While joining the military is volunteer, no one in the military really wants to go to war...

Biden=lots of war...
Trump=no war...

I think someone is lying to us, again...

My son has a friend on the USS Eisenhower who tells me that half the crew are Kool-Aid drinkers.

This will cause a real probem for the bidens when they try to cancel all of the military absentee ballots like they did in 2000.

That would mean that Trump would still be in the lead.

It could happen.

Never trust The Military. Never just complacently think they all love America, per se.

And never doubt for a minute that “liberals” LOVE the MIL - IF they get control of it.

All commies love military. They can’t wait to use it on us.

And for that reason, we must always be vigilant of how much trust and power we give to them.

Article says the poll was conducted by selecting about a thousand people who are currently subscribers to the military times, and the poll has a margin of error of less than two percent. This smells more fishy than a two dollar hooker.

80% of the active duty readership of the various military times are people who read the cover at the PX and then decide whether or not it’s worth stopping by the O-room and risk getting tasked by the chief/gunny/1SG/first shirt to read it.

Military Times? Same as any other media poll. This must be true because the troops hate getting three raises and hate not being in harms way. The LOVE making less and being in constant danger of re-deployment again and again. RIGHT!!?? Go away.
